Capacity Building for the Adoption and Application of Energy Codes for Buildings

Project Completed

Although baseline activities are on-going in both the Lebanese Republic and the Palestinian Authority to update existing building codes and improve end-use energy efficiency, these activities do not address barriers hindering the inclusion of energy codes in the available building codes or construction of energy efficient buildings. The project will add on the existing activities and will provide the stakeholders with needed support to establish cost-effective energy codes in buildings. Governmental participation will be a requirement to transform codes and guidelines to standards, which in turn trained professionals in design and construction must be familiar with in order to apply them in their work. In addition, public awareness will be needed to activate market demand, as well as provide economic incentive scenarios in order to overcome increases in construction cost.
